RedPoint Management Begins 5th Year

Sees growth in entrepreneurial and small business activity

 RedPoint Management, a Chattanooga, TN, based organizational development consultancy celebrated it’s 4th year in business at the close of 2006. Company Owner and President Mike Pollock began RedPoint while concurrently overseeing the sale of The Adventure Guild, an experiential education company that he co-owned for 10 years. RedPoint incorporated in late 2004 and has since been serving the employee development needs of a host of local businesses. “ Chattanooga has a number of young, powerful business concepts that are beginning to emerge. As those businesses begin to find traction, the founders find themselves more frequently managing employees – something they may have never done before” says Pollock. “Our services focus on a top-down strategy to find, manage, and motivate employees who are committed to carrying out the company objectives as if they owned the company”.

RedPoint Management Feedback / Praise

“Mike – Thank you for all you have done to assist me in building my company. Your expert advice and insight are much appreciated. And, your friendship is even more valued.” David McDonald, CEO, True North Custom Publishing.

“It (The Birkman Method) is simultaneously complex enough to reflect a person (in this case me) accurately while being simple enough to be useful as a tool that can be applied in every day situations.  It confirmed many things I already knew, helped me better understand several things I half knew, and gave me some serious food for thought on several other counts.  Self-awareness is a fundamental mark of humanity.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to climb a little higher toward the summit. Name withheld by request, Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce Employee.

Mike: I truly believe that hiring RedPoint was one of the smartest business decisions I have ever made. As an entrepreneur, I need good people around me to grow my business and when I decided to start with you, I set myself up for success! By focusing significant efforts on who I hire and how we communicate as a team, I have developed a team of people who understand one another ...who understand the needs and motivations of each individual as well as the company. Red Point has helped me surround myself with a team who genuinely like one another and who are all solidly focused on the success of the organization. The best money I ever spent, and the best value I have ever gotten for money invested in the growth of my business. I believe that every successful company in America will eventually embrace the spirit of RedPoint... I believe it is a business imperative in the ever-competitive business world we work in. I appreciate you and the focus and commitment you make to our company. David C. McDonald, CEO, True North Custom Publishing, LLC

As Mike and others suggested, I knew that something interesting would develop from my Birkman evaluation but I had no idea that I would gain fantastic insight into all aspects of my life.  RedPoint Management has given me key's to manage not only my work life and career choices but my family life as well. Barrett Taylor, The Brown Group, Chattanooga TN.

Mike (RedPoint) did a great job of working with my management team and me.  We now understand where we each are coming from, and why we act the way we do.  It was a great experience, one on which we can build each time we interact. Keith Sanford, Executive Vice President, First Tennessee Bank - Chattanooga
